    Hi Shyam

    EDEM has no limit on the number of processors - you can use as many as you would like, as long as all of them are on the same node. EDEM runs only with shared memory systems, and not distributed memory systems. Please check with your Account Manager if there is any limitations on the license that you are using as to the number of cores allowed in the license. Also, you could check with your HPC provider if they have sufficient hardware to accommodate your request.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks,
